Default What is this thing called?

I know what its used for...

Does anyone know of something similar to mount over the top of external grill / flush mount / exterior-grade speakers?
(yeah, I know Poly-Planars are supposed to be waterproof)

If I am understanding your question, even if there were something, wouldn't that have a serious negative impact on your speakers ability to project sound?? My poly planer speakers mounted in the front are non-functional after 2 years as well. "Waterproof" my a$$

The only thing waterproof is water.

Get yourself some DC Gold speakers (formerly Babb speakers). They are very water resistant (they claim waterproof). The price is high, but sound quality is great and they have a 3 year no questions asked full replacement warranty. http://www.dcgoldaudio.com/index.html

I've had poly planar stereo and speakers over 3 years now with no probs at all....my speakers are mounted on either side of the helm and the unit is mounted under my steering wheel and I remove it after every use and keep it covered in plastic in my house. Don't know why others are having them "fail" after 2 years but that is not my experience.
